Affiliate marketing can be a very profitable area of blogging. That being said, the blogger needs to pick the right affiliate program and products. Some things to keep in mind when picking the appropriate money making affiliate program for your blog site are:
Payout frequency: How often does the affiliate program pay the blogger. Some affiliate programs require a minimum payout before they actually send you the money. Some will even cancel your account if it is dormant without income if you do not provide them with any links for a set period of time.
Commission: Look at the selling price of the affiliates products and compare that to your commission. It is hardly worth the space on your page if you are getting pennies for a product that will not sell.
Sellability: Aside from the reputation of the affiliate program, this is the most important aspect of choosing appropriate money making affiliate programs for your blog. Regardless of the payout, if you are posting an ad on your blog which will never sell, you are wasting valuable blog floor space.
Relation to your Blog topic: This works had in had with sellability. Consider the topic of your blog and what the blog viewers might be looking for. For example, you will be hardpressed to sell Viagra on a Lesbian interest site. Vibrators and sex toys are more likely.
